by FritsDThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: Dutch.The first 9km very even where you can pedal a nice cadence. The last 2.5km are very tough but the views soften the conditions. A beautiful road surface and very little car traffic. At the top you can have a drink and snack. Highly recommended!... read more

De eerste 9km zeer gelijkmatig waar je een mooie cadans kan trappen. De laatste 2,5km zijn zeer zwaar maar het uitzicht verzacht de omstandigheden. Een prachtig wegdek en heel weinig autoverkeer. Boven kan je iets drinken en hapje eten. Aanrader!
Done from Salers too (second half identical to this profile). The pass is very irregular with an easy passage through the col de Néronne. For the final part, beware of the average percentage which is very misleading. My gps announced 18％ at the steepest and I think they are there. The last 2.5 km are really hard, constantly above 12％ except in the only flat bend if you go wide. A must do if you have the legs or like me a tourist gear (34x34). The blueberry pie at the top was very welcome. The other sides are easier.
Fait depuis Salers (seconde moitié identique à ce profil). Et du coup col très irrégulier avec un passage par le col de Néronne facile. Donc il vaut mieux monter depuis Le Falgoux comme indiquer ici. Pour la partie finale, attention au pourcentage moyen qui est très trompeur. Mon gps m'annonçait 18％ au plus raide et je pense qu'ils y sont. Les 2,5 derniers kilomètres sont vraiment très durs, constamment au dessus des 12％ hormis dans le seul virage plat si on passe large. A faire absolument à condition d'avoir les jambes ou comme moi un braquet de touriste (34x34). La tarte aux myrtilles au somment était la bienvenue. Un gars du coin m'a dit "ah oui c'est très dur". "Ah bon vous l'avez fait ?". "Oui en voiture, c'est très dur !". Attention donc au joint de culasse !
In my case, I climbed from Salers, over the col de Neronne to the Puy Mary. If green is not your color then this is not the place to be. The volcanic rock will have ensured that the flora thrives here and the cows give the perfect milk from which the AOP du Cantal and Salers cheeses are made. I climb it with a good rhythm. As far as I am concerned, it is a must to really stop. For example in the descent to Murat at a local cheese vendor where you can buy a piece.
In mijn geval ben ik vanuit Salers, over de col de Neronne naar de Puy Mary geklommen. Als groen niet je kleur is dan heb je hier niks te zoeken. Het vulkanische gesteente zal ervoor gezorgd hebben dat de flora hier goed gedijd en koeien de perfecte melk geven waar de AOP du Cantal en Salers kazen van gemaakt worden. Ik klim er met een prima ritme op. Wat mij betreft een must om echt te stoppen. Bijvoorbeeld in de afdaling naar Murat bij een locale kaasboer waar je een stuk kunt kopen.
